“when looking at the Equality Act” is the key missing part off the quote. Would you expect an ex-barrister to contradict the ruling of the supreme court?
What’s actually needed is new clear primary legislation to address all these issues. Parliament still had primacy here but good luck getting MPs wading into such a toxic debate?
They could have announced they would look to introduce new legislation to address this. They could have said just about anything instead of what’s been said today.
But they didn’t, they are instead parroting the court ruling as if it’s a final settlement on the issue as whole.
There is no weaselling around these words, the only debate is whether it exposes cowardice or bigotry.
